Eight Reasons Women Fall Out of Love

by Jeannie Assimos, Managing Editor, Content


Constant Criticism (1/8)

Next Slide

It creeps into a relationship, eventually killing any warm and loving feelings a woman might have for her guy. The constant need to nit-pick and criticize every little thing she is doing “wrong” will usually a.) knock the wind out of her sails until she feels depleted and then b.), she is going to start caring less about putting any effort into the relationship until c.) she realizes she must protect herself and self esteem, and heads for the door. There really is something to be said for, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything.”

I totally agree with the first reason. In my last relationship my partner was critical of it seemed everything I did. Seemed like I could do nothing right. It eventually pushed me out the door.

i just read this and it sucks. i have been in love with a man going on three years. trying my best to show him by my actions that i won't hurt him or do anything to mess up what we have. it seems the more i try the more i'm hurt. he's a military man and i know i might be making excuses for him but i think his training or his lack of emotion, i maybe asking for him to do back strokes...sometimes i try to be available when we can chat or if time zone permits. i try not to bother him because of the stressful environment but now i feel like i am the one being short changed. i love him even when he snaps at me knowing he didn't mean it.....but now i'm ready to move on. he's suppose to come home in less then three weeks. not sure how i'm going to handle it, rip the band-aid off or try to work at it. relationships do take work don't they...? i'm glad i could voice this out here. don't really want to talk to girlfriends about it, everything is always easier said then done.

I stumbled on this thread, and now I am feeling like I should never sign up for a site like this. My husband just walked out on me and our three kids - says he "needs to take of me" now. I have loved him, supported him(both literally and figuratively while he got his license to become a doctor) was here for him whenever he wanted. No, it was not perfect but I was devastated when he left; 23 years is a long time to give up on. Now I am hoping that there is someone out there for me who will appreciate the love I have to give, and who will love me equally in return. I am financially independent, and just want a life partner, someone who enjoys the same things as me. Reading this, it seems everyone is very jaded and I don't want to be around men that feel the views expressed here. It is depressing to think that this is all that is out there. No, I am not a knock out model type, but I am attractive, smart, funny, compassionate, generous, and loving woman with a lot to offer. I am now wondering if there are men out there who will appreciate these things about me. It makes me discouraged and sad.

Sometimes insecurity could go a long way damaging and killing a good relationship..she always feel he is cheating on her or stuffs like that..and then TRUST becomes a doubt. Its crazy!

It's very difficult to still find love for a husband who is constantly online downloading porn, and perusing dating sites...married and single. Oh, and stealing money from me to fund those activities. I got a real winner.

Ha! I'm finally shaking loose from the psycho that did [and is still doing] the same things. It sucks being used when you're in love. Eventually, the brain shows the heart how stupid it is and you move on.

It was gradual. The bills, housework, work, and friends took up too much time and created too many problems. There was no effective communication, only communication that made it worse or none at all.
